September 9

Today was a rainy day at the beach, but a rainy day at the beach is better than a "normal" day at home, right?  It actually worked out really well because we didn't feel guilty about hanging out inside to watch football!  In the morning, we went to see the the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, and for a drive on the 4x4 beaches north of where we were staying.
 

We started off the morning with a little breakfast on the couch (probably watching a movie).  I guess when you're on vacation anything goes. 


Caitlin and Ryan went looking for shells on the 4x4 beach, and she showed me what they found. 


Running off some of that crazy toddler energy on the beach. 


She practiced her jumping with Daddy.  I can't believe I actually caught this one! 


Still jumping.


One more of my little jumping bean. 


Waving to all the cars as they passed us on the beach.  She was so excited when they'd wave back to her.


And then she got a ride on Daddy's shoulders.  That smile on her face makes my heart happy. 


After the girls woke up from their naps, they got to go swimming.  It was a little chilly though, so Leah got to hang out with her Mommy and kept trying to sneak her way back into the pool.  Crazy girl.  Love that smile though! 


And last but not least, before bedtime that night, the girls practiced a little yoga.  Here's their downward facing dog move.
